Why Get Married at Gretna Green

There are many different venues within or near to Gretna Green where you can get married.

Because you’re travelling away from home, it’s much easier trim the number of guests to those you really want at the wedding without causing offence. eg, no cousins.

You don’t have to feed and water those family members you don’t like and only see at other family occasions.

You can keep the costs down by only having a small group of family and close friends.

Your wedding will be unique among your friends instead of just another wedding at (Insert local venue).

You just want the day to be about the two of you.

Eloping is a lot less stressful than planning a big wedding at home.

You can easily leave behind those guests who you suspect may spoil your day with their behaviour.

Gretna Green is steeped in history and romance and is the wedding capital of Europe and is therefore filled with professional wedding service providers.

Many of your local venues don’t cater for smaller parties.
